Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini is worried about his side's struggling form after losing to Newcastle United on Wednesday night in a League Cup competition.
Rolando Aarons and Moussa Sissoko shocked the premier league champions with a goal each that sent the defending champions out of the Capital One Cup.
They have now failed to win in their last three matches, both in Europe and in the Premier League.
We are not playing well, with a lack of trust. We aren't scoring enough goals and conceding too easy goals. We must be worried. We didn't win any of the three games this week," said the Chilean.
"I'm worried about why we are not playing the way we normally play. We conceded two easy goals. We are not playing the way that we normally do. We're not passing the ball quickly. With one competition less we can concentrate more."
David Silva made the starting line-up but only lasted five minutes of action before being taken off with a knee injury but Pellegrini insists that starting the Spaniard with the Manchester derby approaching on Sunday was no risk.
"There was no reason why David couldn't play," the Chilean declared. "He was prepared. We tried to play with the best players. David was perfect to play. He was not going to play the whole game. My idea was to change him for Samir Nasri."
